If your saying that when you shift into gear, you hear a loud "clunk" and must hold your foot on the brake to keep the car from moving, then chances are, the throttle position sensor has failed. Do you have a Check Engine Light?If your saying that when you shift into gear, you hear a loud "clunk" and must hold your foot on the brake to keep the car from moving, then chances are, the throttle position sensor has failed.

Hi, you have a malfunctioning brake/park interlock.
When you go to shift out of park, as you know, you have to hit the brake or the shifter won't jump out of Park into Reverse. The interlock device that in this system is probably failing.

Is it only when you go from park to reverse? Or is it just as bad going from neutral to reverse? I've noticed on mine that it's often tight if I park on even a slight slope. If it only happens when going from park to reverse, try this. Hold your foot on the brake, and put the car in drive. Keeping constant pressure on the brake, go back to park, then back into drive. Did you feel the stiffness when you had your foot on the brake?

A new and significant jump or jolt upon engaging the trans could mean you have a broken front engine mount. Your car has a transverse mounted engine with a big mount holding it at the front of the car. It this mount goes bad the engine can "twist" under the hood. This sudden twisting or torque reaction can be felt until the engine runs into something solid *(usually whats left of the engine mount).

Don't wait on this one....see a mechanic A.S.A.P. A damaged mount is only going to do more damage as the engine twists back and forth under the hood. Stressing out the other connections to the engine, i.e., electrical, fuel, exhaust. Leading to more damage.

Either the shift knob or the actuator rod under the shift knob has worn out.
Remove the shift knob and pull the actuator rod (plastic) out of the shift lever and inspect it for wear or damage. If the rod is not worn or damaged, replace the shift knob and you will be good to go.
Good luck.

replace the shift cable remove it and see if it moves freely if not replace if it moves freely check the shift mecanisim on the tranny if it moves freely then the problem is the shifter... take it apart clean it and reassemble.. this should do it...
